PROVOLONE

BELGIOIOSO RINDLESS PROVOLONE - The standard of excellence in Provolone, and the one by which all others are judged. It's made with whole cow's milk and aged at least 60 days. Never smoked and never bleached, it won the title of "World's Best". It is an excellent melting cheese, and slices without crumbling or sticking to the slicer.

BELGIOIOSO SMALL STYLE PROVOLONE - Made from whole cow's milk and aged at least 60 days. They are very popular, perfect for gift giving and natural decoration for any store or deli. Manteche, Boccini, Campanelle and Provolettine will all bring an Italian touch to your deli or table.

BELGIOIOSO AGED PROVOLONE - Made with whole cow's milk and rated "World's Best". It is perfect for snacking, cooking, parties or cheese trays. Age can vary from 5 months for a full flavor, to 12 months for an extra sharp, piquant flavor. Customers who are familiar with provolone will recognize BelGioioso, and those who are not, will be won over after one taste.

BELGIOIOSO ITALIAN EXTRA SHARP PROVOLONE - Produced by using the same techniques as they do in Italy. The cheese is roped and dipped into a plastic coating and is aged inside a temperature-controlled room for 12 months. The plastic coating lets the cheese breathe, allowing more moisture to be released, which in turn creates a stronger rind and a drier cheese.

BELGIOIOSO IMPORTED PROVOLONE - Has the sharp, distinct flavor that you are looking for. We had select each piece of cheese in order to bring you the quality and authentic flavors you are accustomed to.
